Friday Flip-Off

This was created by Gigi @ KludgyMom

& so I thank her for giving us this chance to unload the hectic sometimes stressful situations that come forth in the week,

Wow. It’s Friday. I can’t believe how much time has past without me knowing it. Sure I have a calender, but god- A week?

I have had so much to do this week, and hope you guys will stay to follow & join in on the excitement to come.

I am working hard to bring you the best!

But anywho- back to the Friday Flip-off.

to the guys who get in front of me driving one of these

who like to blow that black smoke {when I have my windows down} FLIP OFF. How dare you cause so much pollution and directly AT me and the other people behind you.

To the parents who have kids and not take care of them.

I am a younger mom, and see some other young moms leaving the babies grandparents to practically raise them, while their out “having fun” or just hanging out. So FLIP OFF. Grow up. Get a head on your shoulders. You didn’t listen and take precaution or whatever  your story, but it isn’t hard to want to be there with them. {Janelle 16 & Pregnant is an example}

Take care of your responsibilities. I believe that a mom should take care of her kid(s) as best as she can. At least sacrificing her “friend time” for her kids. or find a way to add in both.

FLIP OFF to my house, for not cleaning itself, therefore, requiring me to do it, while trying to keep 2 kids out of everything under the sun.

Why can’t you look like this person’s house?

so organized, where you don’t have to search in 3 different notebooks, 2 binders, and 2 stacks of  unfiled papers just to find something?

I would appreciate if you would help just a little. At least scrub the tub for me, won’t ya?

That’s about everything I have to FLIP OFF, other than being busy- I have had a  great week.

The Fourth of July is close, what are your plans?

Picnic Basket Crafts {Moisturizer Review}

Tiffany Norton of Picnic Basket Crafts gave me the chance to review her natural spray deodorant a couple of weeks ago, you may remember from {here}..I thought it was a very awesome product and was glad to test another.

You can find her blog {here}

About Tiffany

Picnic Basket Crafts

“I'm a mom to 2 beautiful boys, wife to a wonderful husband, and teacher to the best 7th graders in the world. I shouldn't even have time for a hobby, much less a small business, but there you have it. I keep myself pretty busy when I'm not at work or commuting halfway across the state of Colorado. These days I like to ski/snowboard and craft all kinds of geeky little goodies. Sleeping is a close third on my list. But as soon as I get woken up in the morning, my "to do" is cued up and ready to go, and I just can't get back to sleep... I hate it when that happens!”

She makes all natural products and I love them. I especially love doing business with her. She is nice, prompt, and keeps her promises. She has high quality products that she didn’t charge much for at all. & she ships really fast and emails you back with any questions.

The moisturizer was a 5% Zinc Oxide Facial Moisturizer for Acne-prone skin.

As soon as I put it on, I fell in love. It wasn’t very thick,  just thick enough to go on your face with out over doing it. It provided a cool effect on my skin, like you could just feel it helping and replenishing it. The smell was like noxema if you have ever tried it, I actually like the smell. I think it smells like “rejuvenation.” and “clean.”

'It also helps protect from the harmful rays of the sun coming with SPF 12-19. Who could ask more from a moisturizer? Not me..

I choose this..

& you should give it a try.

“I make and sell breakfast burritos sometimes at school. I just make them the way I like them. Turns out, everyone else likes them just like I do. I'm always surprised, but people tell me all the time my breakfast burritos are the best they've ever had. Same thing with my lip balm. You might think lip balm is just lip balm. Who really knows the difference between brands?”

“It doesn't get any fresher than this - I will make this lotion when you order it! I've got more essential oils and fragrance oils than it should be legal to possess, so you can pretty much name your fancy. I probably have it!”

{She has in no way paid me to market this product for her. She let me test her products and I love them so much I have to pass them on}

You don’t want to miss out do ya?

I don’t want ya to either

Have a nice night

We’ll see what tomorrow brings

Youthful Trends {Review & discount}

I have recently had the awesome experience of reviewing Youthful Trends Caffeinated Make-up Primer.

With the hot weather and the humidity, I was glad I had this.

I usually have a problem with my make-up sweating off in the summer, so I don’t usually wear it. I hate the icky feeling that comes from sweat mixed with foundation. {It works with powder & liquid foundations}

After the shower, I applied some of this to my face {it comes in a spray bottle} so I just barely sprayed it on my forehead, cheeks, chin, and nose and then took a clean make-up applicator sponge to rub it in. I let it dry for a second and then put on the foundation..

& later on when I started to sweat..

I noticed the make-up was still THERE. It wasn’t smudged, it wasn’t smearing, it still looked as if I had just applied it. So, I guess that means, you won’t have to see my lack of skin sun bare anymore {yay you}

It reduces sweating, extends make-up, Tones, & hydrates..

You can also apply this at night for added and total rejuvenation..

About the Make-up Primer:

“Youthful Trends Makeup Primer is the world's first caffeinated primer with 100% natural ingredients. Makeup primers are all the rage these days, and they are used to help set your makeup and reduce the appearance of lines while absorbing oils and binding makeup to the skin.”

“Unlike sticky primers and serums, this water based spray dries evenly while hydrating skin and tightening lines. Our spray also helps pores breathe and keeps makeup looking beautiful all day long. It also reduces facial sweating and protects skin from UV damage. “

“This proprietary formula outperforms all other makeup primers and one bottle lasts for many months. It's fantastic stuff works for all skin types and colors, as well as all types of makeup including mineral powders, creams and liquids. Supercharge your makeup regimen today for flawless beauty with the world's first caffeinated skin primer.”

It is the most amazing product. You can use as as a make-up extender/sweat decrease/moisturizer. How about that?

There are some other products I have come to wish I had..

{check em out}

ThermaSkin Anti-Aging Soap™ is like botox in a bottle. This all natural anti-aging soap is not like any other soap or non-soap cleanser. It instantly unclogs pores, tightens skin and replenishes elasticity and color without chemicals that strip your skin. It’s perfect for removing makeup, dirt, pollutants and oils. Also stops and prevents acne.

ThermaSkin Bug Blocker™ roll-on features a proprietary formulation of proven essential oils with capsaicin to repel a variety of common insects including mosquitoes, gnats, horseflies, black flies, fleas and ticks. Contains Capsaicin, Lemon Eucalyptus, Geranium and Cedar oils. This proprietary formula really works and it's kid safe.

ThermaScalp Spray™ promotes follicle regeneration and circulation to relieve dryness and itching. It's great for dry scalp, dandruff, thinning hair and general dermatitis. ThermaScalp invigorates hair follicles with a gentle thermal action that permeates the scalp and promotes healthy hair growth

I do hope you keep this company in mind when buying health care items. The ingredients are natural and the company offers A 100% Money Back Guarantee if you aren’t satisfied..

but I guarantee you will..& so the Youthful Trends is giving my readers a 25% discount at both their website- Youthful Trends and GreenSations when you enter the code

(SHEBLOG}

So go take advantage of it, & enjoy =)

Hope you had a great Thurday..
